Installation

Install the package via pip:

pip install django-success-response

Usage

Standard Success Response

To return a standard success response, use SuccessResponse in your Django views.

Example:

from success_response.response import SuccessResponse
from rest_framework.views import APIView

class MyView(APIView):
    @staticmethod
    def get(request):
        data = {'key': 'value'}
        return SuccessResponse(data)

Response:

{
    "success": true,
    "result": {
        "key": "value"
    }
}

Error Response

For error responses, set success=False and provide an error message.

Example:

from success_response.response import SuccessResponse
from rest_framework.views import APIView

class MyView(APIView):
    @staticmethod
    def get(request):
        data = {'detail': 'error'}
        return SuccessResponse(data, success=False)

Response:

{
    "success": false,
    "result": {
        "detail": "error"
    }
}

Error Handling

To format all error responses using the SuccessResponse structure, configure the EXCEPTION_HANDLER in your settings.py:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'EXCEPTION_HANDLER': 'success_response.views.success_exception_handler'
}

Generic Views and ViewSets

django-success-response provides customized DRF generic views and viewsets that automatically return responses in the SuccessResponse format.

Available Views and ViewSets:

Standard View	Success Equivalent
CreateAPIView	SuccessCreateAPIView
RetrieveAPIView	SuccessRetrieveAPIView
UpdateAPIView	SuccessUpdateAPIView
DestroyAPIView	SuccessDestroyAPIView
ListAPIView	SuccessListAPIView
RetrieveUpdateAPIView	SuccessRetrieveUpdateAPIView
RetrieveDestroyAPIView	SuccessRetrieveDestroyAPIView
RetrieveUpdateDestroyAPIView	SuccessRetrieveUpdateDestroyAPIView
ModelViewSet	SuccessModelViewSet
ReadOnlyModelViewSet	SuccessReadOnlyModelViewSet

These views behave like their DRF counterparts but automatically format responses using SuccessResponse.
